President Donald Trump on Friday called fellow NATO members "cowards" for not helping to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

As the U.S. Seeks to Assemble an International Coalition to Secure the Strait of Hormuz, the President Said America No Longer 'Needs' or 'Desires' NATO Assistance: 'We Never Did'

Trump, a longtime NATO critic, said he sees the alliance as a "one way street — We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us."
